Written and performed quickly (approx 2 hours) during a "dark day". This is not a political song but rather a song about the "helpless feeling" during the current strange economic times.
When I used to get down I'd put on an old song I loved…

This is the first track I recorded for my 2009 RPM Challenge CD. The music was written in January, but the lyrics were written by a good friend of mine, Sparky Adams, in 1972 right after he returned from Vietnam. Check it out!

Melodic, peaceful, and trance-inducing instrumental. Used a synth clav as the underlying thematic instrument, then layered a few other things on top. The "guitar" counter-melody at the end is me playing a bass in the upper registers.

Rhythmic groove with bass and "guitars". In addition to the obvious bass track, the two distorted "guitar" tracks are actually also basses, EQ'ed and altered with various effects to sound less bassy and more guitary.

A lonely, slow, tune... with a forlorn and sometimes tense distorted guitar (actually my bass). Good music to listen to as you zone out and stare into space.

Dreamy instrumental with piano, middle eastern percussion, and deep bass. Inspired by William Orbit.

A dance sundae with some samples sprinkled on top. Not my favorite, but was fun to record.

Distorted synths and drums, with some grit and an e. e. cummings poem read by the man himself. I am particularly fond of how this one came together, especially at the end.

Inspired by a trip to Japan during which I needed to obtain another towel for my friend Dave so he could take a shower. All I really knew how to ask of the hotel staff was "Where is the bathroom?" Hilarity ensued.

Bluegrass banjo, southern rock drums, goofy synths, vocoded chorus, and DnB rhythms. Technically has a NSFW word in the lyrics, but probably not discernable.

I love the Commodore 64. Still have two of them. And a C-128. For me, this song captures the loony spirit of some of the Commodore games I loved playing.

Chorus is NSFW. Inspired by responses to one of my Facebook status updates requesting suggestions for song ideas. I incorporated all of the ideas offered. Took less than 2 hours, start to finish, to write and record. I really like the synth melodies…

From the Chill Productions "Planets" project. What it feels like to fly through Saturn's rings, into its atmosphere, and back out.

My re-imagining of a piece by kjwise as a Harold Budd/Brian Eno-ish collaboration.
